Still Life with Plaster Cast
STILL LIFE WITH PLASTER CAST.
This is one of his famous and important paints and represents a new and modern
style.Paul Cezanne is considered as a nineteeth century artist one of the fathers of
the Modern Art. He did not succeed among his comtemporaries.
Cezanne would look deeper to represent abstract paints. He would form part of the
Impresionist group, opposite to traditionalists. Even though that Cezanne did not
wish to belong to any art movement.
They would establish new rules of painting.
Cezanne in this paint grabs our attention to the centre of the paint with a single figure
of a cupid. We can see a nude cupid with no arms and showing no emotion or
whatsoever and the poses of a conventional statuesque. It seems to be a confined
place like a room or a kitchen. Nude figures are in this paint and other important
paints of Cezanne, this is considered as Modern Art.
We can observe the delineation around every element in the paint.
The three-dimensional is another character of Cezannes paintings as well as the
distortion, how Cezanne plays with the light usually from one side creating with the
mix of whites and blacks graduations.
Fruits like apples are used in this paint and many others of his paints as one of his
characters in painting.
With the fruits we observe the importance of the round forms even in the cupid
with use of the light and dirty whites and colours like red, green, yellows. I would
point out the yellows to create light and colour in opposition to the dark whites and
darkness of the paint.
He was looking for a new perspective in his work
Important in Cezannes paint the use of brushwork as a part of his painting work.
These are elements of Cezannes painting considered in those times
to be something new and part of the called Modern Art.
